Richard “Rik” Hill, Retired, AZ Lunar and Planetary Lab

COMMENTS: For lunar photographers, except for the Dark Side of the Moon, there is no such thing as a Bad Moon Rising. But when There’s a Moon Out Tonight, Rik showed us how Once in a Blue Moon, you can get very detailed images of the Mountains on the Moon and become Children of the Moon and maybe even Master of the Moon. Rik also discussed considerations needed in taking and processing high resolution images of the moon with easily available freeware and relatively inexpensive cameras. Dolores brought the group up to date on the launch, current status and future of the recently launched spacecraft.
